"In four weeks you shall be wedded," said the field-mouse. But Thumbelina be gan to cry, and said that she could not marry the tiresome mole. "Fiddlesticks!" said the field-mouse; "don't be obstinate, or I shall bite you with my white teeth. Such a handsome husband as you're going to have too! What more do you want? The Queen herself has not the like of his black fur coat. He has lots too in both kitchen and cellar. Be thankful for such a husband, say I !" And so they were to be married. The mole had already come to fetch Thumbelina away; she was to live with him deep down in the ground, and never come up into the warm sunlight at all, for he could not bear it. The poor child was so distressed, but she obtained leave to bid the beautiful sun farewell, for while she had lived with the field-mouse she had always been allowed to look at the sun from the door anyhow. "Farewell, dear, golden sun!" she said, and stretched her arms high in the air, even going a little way beyond the field-mouse's door, for the corn had been reaped, and only dry stubble stood there now. "Farewell, farewell!" cried she, and threw her tiny arms round a little scarlet flower which grew there. "Greet the dear swallow from me if you ever see him!" "Kwee-wit!
